Unfortunately I have very few articles/reports that directly deal with cat bones, since I mainly only find a small number of disarticulated/semi-articulated remains in (some) assemblages. There were quite a few cat bones in a furrier's waste pit from medieval Winchester (Ford & Teague 2010 Winchester: a city in the making), but that's the only cat rich assemblage I can think of.
Best of luck,
Lena

Subject: Re: domestic cat studies
I was just going to write the same thing. I have the original grey
report here at the Cambridge Archaeological Unit and could provide more
info if
needed. We've found another cat skeleton recently from St.John's
Divinity School with similar if not the same skinning marks, although
(no slaughter
marks) from 18th c. context (rather than 13th c. like those from Bennet
court). Lena Strid is a good person to ask. My best, Vida
